Pya I, began his rule in 115 and the last of them ruled till
at least 1k15 There are certain considerations which lead us
to think that this inscription belongs to the earty part of
the fourteenth century. This record is from TiruppuUi, in
the Rannad district. The other inscription from the same site
mentioning an Aryacakravartin is dated 1305/06. Further, all
the other inscriptions from the Pimnad district referring to
the Aryacakravartins are datable to either the latter part of
the thirteenth century or the early part of the fourteenth
century.There was no Pya ruler called Parkrama in the thirteenth
century. It is 1 therefore, likely that our inscription belongs
to the time of Javarma Parkrama_P4ya I, who lived in
the early part of the fourteenth century. Irm alias Va..kkai
Ariyacc&ckravartti was probably the anim of this Pya ruler.
The evidence of these six inscriptions is practically all th*t
we learn about the iryacakravartins from the IncIia.n side.
That the 4ryacakravartins were niiior chieftains
is clear frog the information we get from the rrafgam inscription
